That "dealer" is full of crap. Now you know where not to shop for guns in the future.

I own two Savage rifles, a 10ML-II muzzleloader and a Model 111 .30-06. Both have the Accu-trigger, and both are good quality firearms, and are very accurate. The Accu-trigger is among the best factory triggers offered today, and Savage has been and continues to be a leader in firearms innovation today (Accu-Trigger, the new Accu-stock, smokeless muzzleloading, etc...). Now, the Savage rifles aren't considered by some to be the nicest looking rifles, but they are built well and get the job done nicely.

Now go find a dealer who has a clue and buy the rifle you want there.
